Also have the app (no extra cost) on my smart phone. $75 per year for basic plan (that=99s definitely all I need).

Hook it into your aircraft electrical system. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Richard Pike Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2015 7:49 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Avare --> The ancient Magellan in my MKIII seems to have croaked, and rather than buy a new one, tried a free app for my ElCheapo smart phone. It works good enough that I think some of you might be interested. It is called Avare, it is free, and it shows you a sectional chart on your smart phone screen, with a little red airplane where your phone is. It tracks along with you, shows you your ground screen, and has a few options, like the nearest airports within 20 miles, and heading to fly and distance to go. Also seems to have a navigate function, but I need to make a mounting bracket before I try that. Haven't used it enough to figure out all it will do, but so far it seems very worthwhile. One thing: it sucks the battery down like crazy. I do have a little recharge stick that you plug into your phone to triple the battery life, so when I rig up a bracket to mount the phone on my joystick, I will include a little holder for the aux battery pack.Will add some pictures once I get a mounting bracket made.

The accuracy seems pretty good and the whole system gives me good situational awareness at a glance. We have so many MOA's and a few restricted airspaces around Phoenix, so this app helps me thread the little corridors from where I am, to where I want to go. :D You can buy the cheaper tablets with GPS on Amazon for around $70.00-$90.00. The sectionals do take a considerable amount of memory so if you start flying where multiple sectional charts are needed make sure you have at least 16 GB of memory. I have 32 GB of memory and lots of Sectionals loaded.

Works great, and free updates! Two features I like are the extended runway vectors after you tell Avare which airport you target, and the airport layout that comes on when you get close. I managed to convince the Avare app to store map databases on the tablet's SD card - 64GB - no worries! I bought a 12V charge adapter, took the 12V side apart and hardwired it to a spare fuse. Whenever I mount my tablet on the panel, I plug in the 5V end of the charge cable. That way, I can have the tablet at max brightness (and it is fully charged when I'm done flying).
